The core consumer price index, which excludes food and energy and is closely monitored by the Federal Reserve, rose by 0.3% on the month and 4.3% on the year.

Anadolu Agency | Anadolu Agency | Getty ImagesInflation rose in August on the back of higher gasoline prices, according to the consumer price index. Gasoline was the largest contributor to inflation in August, accounting for more than half of the increase, according to the BLS. This pared-down measure — known as "core" CPI — fell to an annual rate of 4.3% in August from 4.7% in July. On a monthly basis, core inflation rose slightly, to 0.3% in August from 0.2% in July. The increase in monthly core CPI "is a little bump in the road," said Kayla Bruun, senior economist at Morning Consult.

However, excluding volatile food and energy, the core CPI increased 0.3% and 4.3%, respectively, against estimates for 0.2% and 4.3%. Federal Reserve officials focus more on core as it provides a better indication of where inflation is heading over the long term. Inflation posted its biggest monthly increase this year in August as consumers faced higher prices on energy and a variety of other items. Food prices rose 0.2% while shelter costs, which make up about one-third of the CPI weighting, climbed 0.3%. Within shelter, the rent of primary residence index rose 0.5% and increased 7.8% from a year ago.

New York City families are spending over a quarter of their income on childcare. The typical New York City family is spending over 25% of its income to pay for the childcare of just one kid, according to data from the Department of Labor . For its New York City childcare expenses to meet the federal standard for affordability, a family would need to earn roughly $300,000 per year. AdvertisementAdvertisementCindy Lehnhoff, director of the National Child Care Association, previously told Insider that more funding — not changing ratios — is what's necessary to resolve the national crisis.

Child care 'is a public good'Experts say that systemic change, such as broader parental leave and more public funding for child care, must be involved in order for child care to improve at a larger scale. The national annual cost of child care was about $10,853 for one child in 2022, the organization Child Care Aware of America found. In 2023, 67% of parents reported to spend 20% or more of their household income on child care, Care.com found. Use the benefits you have availableYour workplace may have some options to help you find care, such as backup care providers or on-site child care. Meanwhile, California, Colorado, Hawaii and New Mexico passed laws to provide universal preschool in the past year.

Median prices for nearly every type of child care in New York City have shot up since 2017, according to state surveys of providers. And the workers who provide child care are reeling from high costs and are leaving the industry. Many make just over minimum wage, leaving them barely able to afford to stay in New York City or pay for care for their own children. Interviews with more than three dozen parents, nannies, day care providers and experts revealed a potentially devastating crisis for the future of New York City. In recent years, only the astronomical cost of housing has presented a greater obstacle to working families than the cost of child care, experts said.

A Wisconsin sawmill operator has agreed to stop hiring children after the death of a teenager. Michael Schuls, 16, died of "traumatic asphyxia" after an accident at Florence Hardwoods. The company also employed nine children, some as young as 14, "to illegally operate machinery," including saws for processing lumber. AdvertisementAdvertisement"While we did not knowingly or intentionally violate labor laws, we accept the findings and associated penalties," Florence Hardwoods said in a statement provided to Insider. In May, a pair of Wisconsin Republicans began circulating a bill that would allow 14-year-olds to serve alcohol; earlier, the state's Republican-led legislature legalized children working as late as 11 p.m.

But this percentage is likely an undercount, Mia Ives-Rublee, disability justice initiative director at the Center for American Progress, tells CNBC Make It. Employers aren't allowed to ask you about your disability status in a job interview, so why are they allowed to include a voluntary question on a job application? "Legally, it cannot be flagged on your application," Ives-Rublee says. The choice to self-identify on a job application, or once you are hired into a company, is a deeply personal one, Ives-Rublee acknowledges. It is, of course, up to you to decide if or when you are comfortable disclosing your disability status — even if you know the self-identification will be kept confidential during the job application process.

Job creation in the United States slowed more than expected in August, according to ADP, a sign that the surprisingly resilient U.S. economy might be starting to ease under pressure from higher interest rates. The firm reported Wednesday that private employers added 177,000 jobs in August, well below the revised total of 371,000 jobs added in July. ADP also reported that pay growth slowed for workers who changed jobs and those who stayed in their current positions. The ADP report has traditionally been seen as a signal of what the Department of Labor's monthly jobs report will show. The Department of Labor's jobs report is due out on Friday.

REUTERS/Seth Wenig/File Photo Acquire Licensing RightsAug 30 (Reuters) - The administration of U.S. President Joe Biden on Wednesday moved to extend mandatory overtime pay to 3.6 million salaried workers, going even further than an Obama-era rule that was struck down in court. The proposed rule would not affect overtime eligibility for workers who are paid hourly. Salaried workers who earn above the salary threshold may still be eligible for overtime pay if they do not primarily perform management-related duties. But a federal judge in Texas the following year said that ceiling was so high that it could sweep in some management workers who are exempt from overtime pay protections. Ben Brubeck, vice president of construction trade group Associated Builders and Contractors, on Wednesday called the proposed rule disappointing.

The Department of Labor proposed a new rule that would update who's eligible for overtime. Currently, workers making under about $36,000 can get extra pay for extra hours. One study found that some firms give out fake manager titles to try and avoid paying their workers overtime. That means a sizable chunk would be eligible for overtime pay under the new $1,059 weekly threshold. It's not the first time that a Democratic administration has targeted the overtime threshold.

What young investors wantRecent survey data indicates that Cohen isn't alone. And active young investors are willing to give up returns to see that goal through. Nearly a fifth of the Gen Z investors said they would accept returns between 9% and 11.8%, rather than the full 12% average return. The data comes as accountability measures and standards for ESG investing are hotly debated. "What we see with ESG investing is that it creates something that you can signal to other people."

O*NET scores job characteristics like stress tolerance on a scale from 0 to 100, where a 0 means stress tolerance is not at all necessary for an occupation, and 100 suggests a job with a very high-stress environment. We ranked occupations from most to least stressful using O*NET's stress tolerance score, with lower scores indicating less stressful jobs. For instance, postsecondary economics teachers had a stress tolerance score of 63 and had an average annual wage of $122,750. This job had a stress tolerance score of 51 and an average annual wage of $77,310. For instance, a few high-paying occupations had a stress tolerance score of 68, such as geoscientists and postsecondary mathematical science teachers.

The U.S. economy could bring down inflation while avoiding a growth slowdown — thanks to a rise in productivity, according to Jeremy Siegel, professor of finance at the Wharton School of Business. "The last quarter was, outside of the few months around the pandemic, the best quarter for productivity in over six years," Siegel told CNBC's "Squawk Box" on Monday. Data from the U.S. Department of Labor showed that nonfarm business sector labor productivity rose 3.7% during the prior quarter, as output gained 2.4% and hours worked fell 1.3%. The Atlanta Federal Reserve's GDPNow tracker of incoming data is suggesting growth of 5.8% in the period of July through September. "That's how you can have strong GDP growth without pressure on the labor market, and really without pressure on inflation.

We didn't see the internet coming, but AI is within viewThe adoption of groundbreaking technology is often hard to predict. The World Economic Forum estimated 83 million jobs worldwide would be lost over the next five years because of AI, with 69 million jobs created — that leaves 14 million jobs that will cease to exist during that timeframe. In the US, the knowledge-worker class is estimated to be nearly 100 million workers, one out of three Americans. The small and large compounding effects of productivity growth across many industries are central to the growth trajectory and the long-run effects of AI. This is an alarmingly trivial amount for an economy of $25 trillion GDP and over 150 million workers.
